Production notes

Our Pinot Noir originates from vineyards nestled along gently sloping hillsides of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking Lake Ontario. A 21-day maceration and fermentation using 100% indigenous yeasts; barrel ageing for 15 months in 2nd–6th fill, 225L and 500L French oak barrels

Tasting notes

The nose has black cherry, red currant, cedar and leather. Undertones of all-spice and and earthy notes of forest floor. The palate exudes red cherry. Red currant with integrated but firm tannins. This leads to cranberry and purple plum on the mid-palate. The finish is long and lingering with juicy red fruit and notes of mint and spice. Serving Suggestions: Roast of chicken or turkey; spicy sausages; braised veal shank or rabbit; pork tenderloin with berry coulis; tomato-based pasta dishes; mushroom risotto.
